Commercial carpet manufacturer Bentley announced changes at the top of its organization, effective June 1, 2022. Long-time company leader and current president Jim Harley will retire. Jay Brown, a seasoned industry executive who joined Bentley two years ago as vice president of operations, will take the helm as president and chief operating officer.
“Bentley is the strong, resilient, competitive company it is today because of Jim’s leadership,” said Cyrille Ragoucy, chief executive officer of Bentley’s parent company, Balta Group nv, the Belgium-based manufacturer of textile floorcoverings. “We are thankful for his vision, strategy and commitment to our brands. I am confident Jay will continue the momentum and lead Bentley into its next chapter.”
